Tuk tuk racing
Sad times, the last morning in Zanzibar. Went for a last walk down the beach before the 1.5 hour drive back down to Stone Town. After being stamped back out of the island (random immigration system!) it was into the circus of a 'queue' for boarding the 12.30pm ferry. We already had tickets, turns out the ferry was sold out.
